Step By Step Women'S Haircut: How To Cut Curly Hair

Beginning with the consultation right now we're talking about where the layers are gon na sit and how the hair is gon na collapse to the sides, starting at the top and start subsection, a horseshoe section, utilizing my hands and a wide toothed comb, primarily because I'm working With dry hair, I prefer to work curly hair like this when it's dry, because I can easily see how the hair is gon na shift and move and how it's literally gon na fall in its natural state. I took another subsection taking a diagonal back horseshoe section, leaving out the perimeter hairline, but also clipping away that mid section of where that layering pattern is gon na sit so right now, starting off in the fringe area. Honestly, just picking up the hair and establishing a perimeter line that works asymmetrically in nature and then working through the top. Actually, I start layering the hair to release some of that weight and create more of a rounded collapse to her fringe. So that way, it has a little bit more lift to it, because inside of our consultation, that was one major factor to her fringe was that it was too heavy for, and so just layering out that fringe in an asymmetric way. So it does allow it to collapse, but also give it a bit of direction as we put the shape in. As I continue to work. I know it looks a bit random, but at the same time, what I'm doing is I'm just looking at areas of weight and then just visually, seeing where I need to knock those bits off so that way it allows me to create that vertical collapse and vertical Silhouette from the sides of the fringe on into that front, hairline area, as I transition to the hair just over the year, I'm actually beginning to pick up number links and now work from the layering guide that I have in the fringe area out and so working An asymmetric line that works short so long and then over directing the rest of the perimeter. Links on that left side up to continue that line the ones releasing the top horseshoes section, I'm going to come in and take a vertical guide and technically it's an independent guide. It is not based off of the length that I established at the fringe and so working that line square. I'M establishing that vertical guide again to literally fall, where we had discussed inside of our consultation, where we want those layers to collapse vertically on the side. After the central vertical guide is established being cut square, I then begin over directing each side to the center and again continue to cut and following the guy again, I want to restate just the necessity or be really careful when it comes to tension now the hair Is actually being controlled and so just really loosely working that wide tooth comb to help gather the hair, but really allowing the hands just to put the hair in place and not actually combing through the hair to the ends. And you know again paying attention to that level of tension. So that way, I don't force the hair to go anywhere. It wouldn't go in its natural state. Moving on is time to release that bottom horseshoe subsection separate a vertical guide and center back over direct the hair up and continue to cut the lines square. As I begin to work into the perimeter, I'm actually going to transition my line into a short too long. Just to maintain length as well as continue with that asymmetric layering pattern where, on her left side, I am gon na work, a short to long line through that perimeter and then on her right side, I'm gon na layer, it just a little bit differently. So we do get a bit of an asymmetric movement throughout the entire shape. So as I look at the front corner of the perimeter line just looking at these little areas where I just want to just personalize in detail - and so again it is very visual. Just to release some of that weight, but again I'm still maintaining that length and the feeling of the corner itself right now. I just want to show a visual with the comb, the vertical collapse on the left compared to the unlaid side on the right. So, as I stated before on this right side, I am going to work again in an asymmetric manage so on this side. I'M actually over directing the hair off the round of the head shape and then continuing that line square which will allow me to layer more into that perimeter, and you know at that point it'll. Allow me to collapse her right side, quite a bit tighter. So again, when the overall silhouette is done and finished, her right side will definitely be layered a bit more all the way through and collapse, quite a bit more on that right. Side and her left side will have a bit more weight and a little bit more density along the perimeter line once the shape is put in and prior to the fusing, the hair. Let'S take the client back to the bowl and completely wet the hair down. Even adding maybe a bit of conditioner or a product at the bowl, and then of course, for me personally, my favorite agent for controlling the hair when it comes to the curl itself and giving it a nice bit of structure but also, at the same time, a Bit of moisture is urban antidotes number two, the bet headline of TG, so I actually use quite a bit of product you'll, actually see the light of the product in the hair, but you know prepping the hair with the product and then of course, going in and Doing a finger twist set and working horizontally up the back and then, of course, subdividing those horizontal sections vertically and then, of course, you know utilizing a finger twist as a technique to give that girl pattern. A nice bit of structure and a nice shape for the finish as I continued to work up, the head shape saturation is key and that you know is dealing with both the level of water saturation as well as product saturation. So you know, of course, maintaining a certain level of dampness with the hair, but at the same time constantly reapplying that product. So I can keep the hair consistent with the overall end result as a movement to that top section, of course, placing the hair. For the finish is really key and then, as I go through and subsection that Ferengi area, as well as the rest of the top completing that finger twist, set just being mindful of the direction to which I'm actually twisting the hair. So it does follow with that asymmetric movement and feel that I'm looking for inside of the finish, as I begin to diffuse the hair, you know, one key thing to consider is the dryer itself. Of course it's the settings, and so I always start with the lowest heat setting, as well as the lowest speed setting. The other thing to note is the way in which I approach the hair, with the diffuser always coming from the bottom up and, of course, as I get done, drying the hair itself, I set the hammock back down. I don't rotate the dryer at all and you know it's important to maintain a level of consistency as you work the fusing hair. It does take time, but you know once everything is done. The end result is unmatched, so you want to make sure that the hair is completely dry, especially prior to shaking the hair out and the easiest way to tell that is when you go and grab the hair itself. If it's cold to the touch. That means it's still wet, but once the hair is dry, you definitely want to shake it out to give it a natural texture finish, because the light airy texture is actually the goal so sometimes shaking out the hair isn't enough and you have to go back through And, of course, separate the curls with your fingers and of course you want to make this as airy and as light as possible, and you know just to drive that point home the sec. Curl isn't the end result that light area. Texture is what we're looking for. Hope you guys, like the shape and the finish and just listen to a Leija. She and she loved it.
